NACHASH released a bombshell of a debut CASSETTE-EP in 2015. Limited to only 300 tapes, it took the underground by storm and the demand for a more "easy" format became evident after a while. Now the cassette has been re-pressed on a limited edition of 500 CD's.

Taken from a review on Metal Archives: Stretching 4 tracks into 30 minutes of quality music with no filler is quite a feat, pushing the envelope of what an EP can contain. Some bands can make 30 minutes fly by, but Nachash overwhelms with such a blackened heaviness that by the end, I feel as though I've almost listened to a double album, but at no point do I feel that time is wasted for the sake of creating long tracks

Conjuring the Red Death Eclipse is both magical and ethereal, a must listen for all fans of metal. The music is crushing and transportive, visceral and euphoric, with no quality dominating over the other. Nachash intertwine all these great qualities to perfection.CD is released by Unborn Production and heavily distributed by Apocalyptic Empire Records. T-shirts available from Apocalyptic Empire exclusively!(Expect a vinyl version autumn 2016!)

OUT NOW!APTORIAN DEMON "Libertus" LP(2nd press)

Obscure Black Metal madness from Trondheim, Norway. The sold-out debut-LP now re-released on vinyl once again in co-operation between Kyrck Productions and Apocalyptic Empire Records. Hellish Black attack from the original keep of Kalessin member.

Limited to 500 copies on purple/ grey haze vinyl and black vinyl (250 copies each). The vinyl-factory fucked up the colour on this one unfortunately and made it exactly the same as the original pressing (we were suppose to get a red vinyl version on this 2nd press). However, the lay-out on the back of the LP is completely different from the original pressing as well as other details - so all die hard vinyl-collectors will have no problem separating this pressing from the first pressing.

The vinyl-version includes exclusive LP-only lay-out, printed insert and one "hidden" bonus-track only available on the LP!

Hailing from the center of Asian metal madness, Singapore, INFERNAL EXECRATOR's debut opus took almost a decade to be unleashed among the fanatic fans of Black/ Death Metal. Those who have followed Apocalyptic Empire Records for a while will recognize their name after having released their "Antichrist Execration" 12'' MLP and "Conglomeration Goatcult Profanextermination" 7''EP. As with their earlier recordings, we are dealing with furious, blistering and extremist Black/ Death Metal, song-titles completely over-the-top, piercing, passionate and terrorizing vocals all completed with an old-school yet crystal clear production! An insane album bound to please anyone who wants a straight forward barbaric blackened bludgeoning in the vein of Marduk, Angelcorpse, Impiety or simply savage Death/ Black/ Thrash!

In co-operation with No Posers Please! and Duplicate Records - Apocalyptic Empire Records will open a new record-store in Oslo March 28th! It's called KATAKOMBEN and our goal is to be the leading shop for new releases within extreme music in Oslo! If you are travelling to Oslo for the INFERNO FESTIVAL - drop by!

PS: Because of the grand opening this weekend I have no time for emails, regular messages or orders this week (we are working 24/7 to get the shop ready), so there will be delays in getting back on track with that! Everyone will be answered as soon as possible during or after the easter.

BACK IN STOCK! 2 exclusive tracks from URGEHAL and SARKOM – sharing this awesome Picture Disc 7’’ EP package! URGEHAL offers a re-recording of «Maatte Blodet Flomme», originally featured on the “Arma Christi” album from ’97. Recorded in URGEHAL’s rehearsehell 2011 with crisp and killer sound! SARKOM performs the exclusive track “Disintegrate”! This quality Picture Disc 7’’ EP comes housed in a thick regular 7’’ EP cover/ jacket. This is the 2nd pressing of 500 copies we do of this picture disc 7''EP that we originally released a few years back. The intention was always to release it in 1000 copies in total, but we did 500 copies to start with that sold out quite fast and the 2nd pressing has always been pushed back because of other releases being a priority. Now we finally got our shit together and did the last 500 copies. For you vinyl-collectors: There are no difference on the 1st press and 2nd press since the idea was always to do this one in 1000 copies.

NOTE: While the first 500 EP's was in production at the press-plant news struck that founder and original URGEHAL-member Trondr Nefas was found dead. In a last minute decision the remaining members of URGEHAL decided to include a memorial poster which you will find with each copy of this EP. A fold-out quality poster in remembrance of a true Nekromisantrop!

OUT NOW!INFANT DEATH "Total Hell" LP

The return of INFANT DEATH! "Total Hell" is the ultimate fitting title for the 2nd album from this Raw, occult Thrash/ Speed Metal band from Trondheim, Norway! If you were amazed by the Speed and brutality of their debut-album "War" - prepare for complete onslaught on "Total Hell"!

Taken from Stereokiller.com: "The mixture of Speed Metal and early blackened Thrash are met with one of the most natural analog outputs possible for this style today in one of the most violent outbursts the underground has to offer. Whether you want to just cut lose alone, incite a flash mosh pit, or commit acts so heinous you'd land on the NSA's watch list, or the no fly lists at the very least, you owe it to yourself to make Total Hell the soundtrack to those very moments"

Second pressing on shit-brown vinyl! Much to our surprise the first 500 copies on black vinyl sold out quite fast, so we had to do a 2nd pressing!

LOBOTOMIZED's debut album "Norwegian Trash" is an aggressive mishmash of putrid Metal and dirty punk appropriately classified as Trash Metal by the band themselves. Drawing inspiration from such diverse and deadly institutions as ABSCESS, ANAL BABES, GG ALLIN, DOOMED, DISSIMILIS and NORWEGIAN DANSEBAND etc., a highly potent mix reeking of putrefaction is brewed. Ironically this somewhat demented approach to the music offers the Metal scene something authentic, savvy and fresh in all its primitive, counterfeit oldness. The album features contributions from Eric Cutler (AUTOPSY), Arne Willy Foss (OLE IVARS), Rune Rudberg, Stian Carstensen (FARMERS MARKET), Petter Baarlie (BACKSTREET GIRLS) and Dopi (MACHETAZO) amongst other raunchy hoboes.

Limited to 500 LP's on shit-brown vinyl with printed innersleeve and insert. This is an LP-only release (no CD's are made). Co-released with No Posers Please!

SLOW DAYS!!!

20 years ago today, June 6th 1994, I officially started a small underground mail-order for the extreme Metal music that has been my passion for so many years. Apocalyptic Empire Records was born exactly 2 decades ago today! First only as a small mail-order for Norwegian customers distributing vinyls from labels like Osmose, Misanthropy and Avantgarde, but eventually I also started releasing records on my own. Things worked surprisingly well without anything called internet, but only through letters, flyers and people calling in orders on my 2 ton brick of a mobile-phone. 20 years is a long time for anything, and I am a bit puzzled that I am still doing this label/ mailorder. I have calculated that there are about 35000 records that I have released out there with my logo on and on top of that comes the thousands upon thousands of mail-order items that has been spread throughout the years. 35thousand records released might not seem like a lot for 20 years, but considering it has all been shipped one record at a time from my bedroom or home-office during my free time (this is not my regular day-job) it is quite mindblowing to think about how many packages has been delivered at the post-office during these years. Cheers to everyone who has bought records and supported during all these years, all the bands, labels, distributors, shops, printers, vinyl manufacturers, designers and awesome people all over he world I have had the pleasure of meeting, talking to or hanging out with because of this label! Continue to support!

After what seems like a new world-record in manufacturing time at the vinyl pressplant, these 3 new vinyls are finally unleashed and ready to spread around the world!

SABBAT/ BESTIAL HORDES "Sabbatical Bestial Slaughter" 7''EP ﻿

SABBAT from Japan should need no further introduction after having blasted out their excellent Blackened Thrash Metal for 3 fucking decades! This split captures the band live in 2008 with an awesome live-feeling! BESTIAL HORDES from Malaysia delivers an exclusive studio-recording of furious Thrashing Hell! The band should be known for their killer CD-EP "Nuclear Metal Lust" that will soon be released on vinyl for the first time through Apocalyptic Empire Records!

Limited to 666 copies - the first 166 copies that comes printed on red and white "color on color" vinyl with sticker and big fold out poster! The remaining 500 copies are on regular black vinyl without sticker and poster. All copies released with a thick quality jacket/ cover with spine and printed gatefold insert!

(Unfortunately the press-plant managed to fuck up the colours on the DIE HARD edition. It was suppose to be SOLID red and white (like the Japanese flag), but they mixed the colours wrong so it ended up with a bleak red - almost pink - colour instead...Fucked up, but there is no time for a new pressing)

INFANT DEATH "Infant Death DEMO/ Cursed To Damnation DEMO" 10'' MLP﻿

Raw,
occult Thrash/ Speed Metal from Nidaros, Norway! In just 1 year the
band released 2 incredible demo-tapes that received great feedback in
the underground before their debut album "War" was unleashed in June
2013. Their 2 demo-tapes were instant classics, but was hard to get
almost at once since they were only printed in 100 copies each on
cassette. Due to popular demand and constant requests the band have
decided to officially re-release their demos for those who missed the
tapes! Released through Apocalyptic Empire Records and only available in 500
copies on 10''MLP - all pressed on white vinyl! The first 166 copies
comes with a killer Infant Death embroided patch!

DØDSVERK "Dødsverk" LP﻿

The debut-album from this mysterious Norwegian band! A recording that could easily have been released in 1993, but still piss all over most of the Black Metal released today! Fucking fresh. Fucking awesome. Fucking excellent - even though it sounds like it is 20 years old.

Limited to 500 copies on LP. A small number of CD's will be released "soon".

News September 2013 anno bastardi

Apocalyptic Empire Records will be closed from September 16th until December 5th!!!! As most of you might know, Apocalyptic Empire is just a small one-man business and yours truly have dedicated most of my time the past two decades to this label and mail-order. This autumn I am starting a new chapter in my life and will be doing some serious studies and classes in the years to come. This will have little or no effect on the label-activity as I have always done other things besides the label, but for a short period this autumn I will have to attend classes and studies outside of Norway. It will of course be impossible to run the label and sell records in this period, so for a short time from September 16th until December 5th Apocalyptic Empire will shut down all activities. The web-shop will be closed, I will not be answering emails or anything business-releated (so please restrain yourself from mailing me unless it is something etremely important in this period). In the period Apocalyptic Empire is closed the MION’S HILL lp/cd will be exclusively available for sale through our other Norwegian partners in crime; Unborn Productions, Duplicate Records, Terratur Possessions, No Posers Please and Neseblod Records. This way the album will still be easily available even though Apocalyptic Empire is closed for a few months.

MION'S HILL "Black Death" LP / CD

The debut-album from Norwegian Blackened Death Metal band MION’S HILL is unleashed September 12th on CD and LP! Heavily influenced by the first wave of Black/ Death Metal bands such as HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, MANTAS/ DEATH and VENOM, the band released their debut demo-tape in 2012 entitled “Festering Curses”. Being part of the growing scene in Kolbotn (a small town in Norway that must have something strange in the water since so many great Metal-bands have risen from that town the past years), this young trio will surely be someone to look out for in the future! The members live and breathe Metal and are also involved in other extremely interesting new bands like GOUGE, CONDOR and MABUSE. With their debut album “Black Death” the echoes from the past is obvious, but without becoming just another boring retro copy-cat band, MION’S HILL offers a savage and aggressive 8-track assault of timeless deadly Metal that will please any old-schooler as well as those who simply worship at the altar of METAL!

The LP-version is limited to 500 copies – printed on 350 gram reverse board printed cover/ jacket with insert. The first 100 copies that comes on black/ red haze-vinyl including a big poster and embroided patch! T-shirts with the album cover has been printed - available in sizes S, M, L and XL.

Raw, occult Thrash/ Speed Metal from Nidaros, Norway! In just 1 year the band have released 2 incredible demo-tapes that has received great feedback in the underground, and now their debut album is here! INFANT DEATH is exactly what they sound like. A band from Norway that loves Slayer, Bathory, and a touch of the 90's Black Metal from their motherland. And it works…the formula that is. Play fast, wear black, and hail Metal! Musically, this is off the charts. At times it is so fast and schizophrenic it's hard to keep up, but at the same time it will remind you of 80's Thrash/ Speed but with an added frantic energy that is bound to get heads banging. Completely and all around old school without being pretentious, it slays most retro-Thrash bands these days and it will inspire you to throw on your battle jackets, spiked wristbands and smash some posers!

3 different INFANT DEATH T-shirts has also been printed:

GANGRENATOR is a dirty rotten dystopian sci-fi horror, Grind/ Death Metal band formed in 2005 by the irradiated Berlevaag Lamseth (ENDWARFMENT, LASERGUYS) on guitar and the mutated Mat "Kvohst" McMercenary (DØDHEIMSGARD, CODE) on vokills. In their obsessive compulsion to resurrect the diseased vibes of real, true old Death Metal and Grindcore, they released a home-made four track demo cassette tape in early 2008 entitled "Imminent Gangrene". In the summer of 2008 two more fucked up freaks from Trondheim joined the infected ranks, Prest (LASERGUYS/ THORNS/ ANTIDEPRESSIVE DELIVERY) on bass and Salvatore Amore (SEXY POLICE/ MANIFEST) on drums. They recorded their debut self-financed album in the autumn and signed to Apocalyptic Empire Records who have now unleashed the CD-version of the debut-album "Tales From A Thousand Graves"! LP-version will follow sooner or later.

"Tales From A Thousand Graves" is described as "total old-school Grind/ Death madness the way it's SUPPOSED to be! . . . [It] is a collection of hooded ghouls, mangling murderers and heavy gravestones of Grinding Death, carried by tentacled creatures from the phosphorescent abyss.

Besides a very busy schedule as producer and sound-technician in his own studio, SARATH has spent the last 5 years slowly but steadily recording the first full-length now unleased in a co-operation between the two underground labels Apocalyptic Empire Records and Terratur Possessions. LP-version has been released by Blut & Eisen.
